Moderation

warn, mute, kick, ban with memory

Moderate your server from /mod in Discord: warn, mute (timeout), kick, and ban members. Each one is recorded as a numbered case with its reason, and /mod history shows a member's whole record. Set up an escalation ladder so Packet auto-mutes, kicks, or bans once a member accumulates enough strikes. Discord's own actions (a manual ban, an AutoMod timeout) can feed the same record, so repeat offenders escalate even when no staff are online. In Configure, choose the mod-log channel, which staff roles are exempt, whether the member gets a DM, and the escalation thresholds. (Configure → Moderation; the actions themselves are /mod commands in Discord.) Staff can also press them: open /packet home, choose Features, then Moderation, and pick the member in the form.

How the ladder counts. A warn counts as the number of strikes your server sets, unless staff give it a weight of its own, from 1 to 5. Each rung of the ladder fires once, the first time a member reaches it. Use /mod pardon on a case and its strikes stop counting. Packet's own automatic protections never add a strike.

More tools. /mod note saves a private note as a case. /mod isolate shuts a member out of every channel until you /mod release them, or for a set time. /mod purge clears recent messages, by member, role or age. /mod slowmode sets a channel's slow-mode. /mod lock stops members posting in one channel, and /mod freeze does it in every channel at once, for an emergency. When a lock or a freeze ends, every channel goes back as it was, and a permission someone changed by hand during it is kept.

Right-click. Staff can also right-click a member, choose Apps, and pick Moderate member (a private panel with Warn, Timeout, Remove timeout and History), Warn, Add note or View cases. Each does what the matching /mod command does, with the same permission checks.

Report to staff. Any member can right-click a message, choose Apps, then Report to staff. Packet sends your moderators one note in the mod-log channel, naming who reported, the author, the channel and the reason, with a link to the message. Tick Member reports with action buttons and reports go to a staff channel you pick instead, as a card with a short part of the message and buttons to warn, time out, delete the message, open a case or dismiss. Members can then report a member too, from their right-click menu. It is off by default.
